4Description
OpenClaw before 2026.3.25 contains an improper access control vulnerability in the HTTP /sessions/:sessionKey/kill route that allows any bearer-authenticated user to invoke admin-level session termination functions without proper scope validation. Attackers can exploit this by sending authenticated requests to kill arbitrary subagent sessions via the killSubagentRunAdmin function, bypassing ownership and operator scope restrictions.
Analysis
Authorization bypass in OpenClaw versions prior to 2026.3.25 enables authenticated users to terminate arbitrary subagent sessions through the /sessions/:sessionKey/kill HTTP endpoint. Exploiting CWE-863 improper authorization, low-privilege authenticated attackers execute admin-level killSubagentRunAdmin functions without ownership or operator scope validation, achieving high integrity and availability impact on targeted sessions. …
